I once met a girl who was born and brought up in a small village in Tamil Nadu. She moved to Mumbai after getting married. It was a major change for her with regard to the culture, food habits, life style and pretty much everything. When I asked her about her experience she shared many things. One thing she said was "Everyone only keeps running in Mumbai. No one walks". Well that's very true. Sadly in every city the scenario is the same. People are always in a rush - either walking fast or driving fast. No one has time for anything. No one has the time to take a quiet evening walk, read a book or listen to some music. Anyone you ask the question "How's life?" the answer is the same - "GOING BUSY".

What has happened to our food habits in this busy world? It's mostly ready made food, restaurant take outs or some fast food.

For South Indians, dosa batter has become a life saver. It is so convenient to quickly make some idlis or dosas during busy morning or tired evenings.Nobody wants to try out the time consuming traditional breakfast on week days. In such a situation, how do we make the same idli/dosa special each day? The answer - Have a different side dish each day. I have already shared quite a few chutney varieties. Here is yet another chutney recipe made with carrots. Here we go....
